Our Topic

The topic we conducted our survey on was the political and religious relationship between students and their parents. We wanted to know how strongly a student's parent's feelings about politics reates to their own personal opinion, and if how religious a student's parent is relates to how religious they are.

Population, Sample, and Sampling

Our population were the students at North Olmsted High School and our sample was 40 randomly selected students.

The sampling technique we used was to obtain a list of all NOHS students from Mrs. Caso and enter it into Minitab. Then we used the "sample from columns" option to obtain our random sample of size 80.

Of the 80 students we provided surveys, 44 of them returned the surveys to us. We only needed an amount around 30-35, so 44 was a great amound to have returned to us.

 

H_o = There is no association between a student’s parent’s political affiliation and the student’s.

H_a= There is an association between a student’s parent’s political affiliation and the student’s.
